Chapter XXXV. Conditions of Cooperation

On the thirty-third floor of the Alinge Magic Tower, Lucien followed the teacher to his study.

In the empty aisle, Fernando looked at Lucien thoughtfully: "What kind of intestines did you cut, and it didn't affect at all?"

Although he is also quite good at necromancy, this faction itself still has a strong legacy of the ancient magic empire theory, and it is completely different from the earth in the direction of development.

In terms of dissecting the human body, the focus is on studying the relationship between different organs and various diseases, in order to develop new curses, rot, and disease-based magic, or to reduce the requirements of similar magic in the past, which determines that necromancers classify internal organs quite generally, and the appendix and cecum are treated as intestines, and there is no fine distinction.

"My name is the appendix, and when I recently dissected and studied Gwill's body, I stumbled upon the fact that if this part of the intestine was removed and Gwill's recovery ability was suppressed by magic, it would have no negative effect, which meant that it had almost no effect. Lucien said that he had already thought of a reason, anyway, he had recently added a ninth-level dark knight as an experimental material, and the teacher knew very well.

As for the problem of immunity, for the knights, it is already minimal.

Fernando snorted: "It can't be said that it has no effect, at least it can be used as the main material for the improved version of Life Concealment." ”

He was unfazed by Lucien's dissection of Gwill, but affirmed, "It's time for you to deepen your bloodline research." It's a useful addition to the study of the soul, and many of the rituals that sustain life in the future will require this knowledge, so you don't want to become a lich in the future, or would you rather watch Natasha die many years before you?"

"The knight can't transform into a lich, and becoming a death knight will also be invaded by negative energy, almost becoming another person, so there are not many legendary magic rituals that can work on her to extend her life, and the effect is very good, reaching more than a thousand years, as far as I know, no more than five. There is no excellent foundation for necromantic factions. Even if you are the peak of legend, you can't preside, and when the time comes, you can't go to Vicente, right?"

"Isn't there still you, teacher? You also presided over the necromancy ceremony just now. Lucien took these words to heart, but gave a small compliment to the teacher.

Fernando said angrily: "This little girl has the potential to be promoted to epic. When she needs to extend her life. Maybe Teacher, I fell in the process of exploring the reality of the world. Moreover, the materials needed for these five legendary magic rituals are extremely precious, such as the 'Blessing of the Dragon', which I am now prolonging, is to join forces with Hathaway. And with Douglas's help, the three of them besieged and killed a legendary-level primeval red dragon, using its blood and bones as the main materials, and you may not have a chance to obtain it. ”

"Legendary level primeval dragon ......" Lucien found that this material is extremely difficult to obtain, each dragon's own flesh is terrifying, as they get older, their magic strength will also increase, and the legendary level of primeval dragon is no worse than the legendary magician of the ancient magic empire in terms of magic level.

And most importantly, there are no more than seven ancient dragons surviving at present, all of them are important elders in the Dark Council, and it is very difficult to besiege them, this is not a shoddy product of the Dark Dragon God.

Fernando ignored Lucien's monster-like expression, and continued: "Therefore, if you can't find the right materials, you can only find a way to create a new magic ritual by yourself, which requires a fairly deep necromantic level, do you think Hathaway doesn't want to continue Patrick's life? ”

He didn't mention the Revenant Juggernaut, and it was clear that Vicente wasn't going to help Hathaway.

"I see. Lucien nodded solemnly, but he was not too urgent, he and Natasha were still very young, so he still focused on improving his magic level first, working hard to become a legend, and then thinking about this aspect in the future.

As he spoke, Lucien asked curiously, "Teacher, how many years can your 'Dragon's Blessing' last?"

Fernando looked immodest at this time, and said triumphantly: "This ritual ranges from two thousand to five thousand years depending on the quality of the materials, the knowledge of the soul and body of the host, and some reasons for not knowing the truth, and can be superimposed with other life rituals, at that time Hathaway and I each lasted four thousand seven hundred years. ”

This is close to the best, no wonder the teacher is so proud, Lucien thought silently, and then continued to ask, "What about the other legendary mages? ”

"I don't know too much about others, this is a personal secret, I only know that Douglas was exchanged with the elves, and used the 'Gift of Nature' ritual with the help of the fruit of the elven tree that took 10,000 years to bear, and Brooke has not used any legendary-level magic ritual to extend his life. Fernando opened the door to his study.

Brooke is no more than two hundred years old, the legendary level plus the assistance of ordinary magic rituals, his life has been able to last for a thousand years, and there is no urgent pursuit of the idea for the time being, and Fernando is different, he and Douglas are both magicians who grew up in the ancient magic empire, and they are more than a thousand years old, and Hathaway is because of the relationship between the team, and by the way, they share the ritual materials.

Lucien satisfied his curiosity and smiled, "Teacher, I'll go back to the Magic Tower first and place this 'Life Talisman' in the core protection area of the Magic Tower." ”

Although this talisman with the appendix is not as deadly as the Lich's talisman life box, it will not be destroyed and it will die, at most it will lose the opportunity to be reborn, but this is half of Lucian's wealth in exchange, how can he be careless.

Fernando's face turned serious and motioned for Lucien to come in first.

When Lucien walked in puzzled, he closed the door to his study. "The Supreme Council has passed a decision to cooperate with Salde, and yesterday we met with him in secret and signed a magical contract each. ”

"Every one of your Excellencies has signed, what did he ask, what did he promise?" Lucien said to his teacher about Salde's mysterious oddities, and his expression became solemn.

Fernando called Lucien in just to hear his opinion, and said without concealment: "Every member of the Supreme Council has signed, according to Salde's request, we magicians are asking for justice from the Lord of Hell, Mardimos, who swore to the God of Truth with a heart of faith and signed a contract. ”

In general, normal magic contracts have no effect on Legendary Mages. After all, the devils and other mystical creatures who oversee the execution of magical contracts. It's not bad not to be caught by a legendary magician as an experimental material, how can you have the ability to supervise and enforce the punishment for breach of contract, so the magic contract at this level is often supervised by the Nine Grand Dukes of Hell, or sworn to the origin of magic by the world of cognition.

Because the origin of magic is ethereal. Whether there is one or that is still a question. The specific binding force of the latter oath has been criticized for a long time. There have been those who have broken this oath and caused the cognitive world to collapse and die, and there have been those who have no effect on it, although this is often interpreted as exploiting the hole in the oath. But Salder was clearly unwilling to take the risk and asked the god-like Lord of Hell to "oversee," and his own "oath of faith" had no problem binding on the clergy.

"Lord of Hell...... Will He come and intervene in this matter as well? Hearing this terrifying big man, Lucien couldn't help but tug at his mouth.

Fernando smiled: "If it had been before, he would probably have intervened secretly, conspiracy is what he loves the most, but he has just been overshadowed by Silvermoon Eitna, and he has lost an important projection under your 'eternal blazing sun', and he has also injured himself, so he may not be willing to venture into it again, but Silvermoon is almost recovered, and is 'hanging in the sky watching', and he may not be able to beat Douglas when he projectes it like this." ”

"The Great Prophet, the King of Angels, may well have been played by Salder himself, who manipulated the radical clergy and the Night's Watch, but he never acknowledged it head-on. ”

"Hanging in the sky and watching" is a common metaphor in the wizarding world to signify Etna's concern.

"And what are your vows, and what are Salde's promises?" Lucien asked again.

Fernando bowed his head slightly: "The contract stipulates that no action shall be made against any of the magicians of the Magic Council until Salder breaks his promise or attacks him undefensively, and similarly, he shall not suppress the development of his new sect until they have taken action against the Council, and he has the right of first refusal in every piece of Xenodimensional territory we have acquired." ”

It was a reasonable and apt expression of Salde's desire, which seemed to indicate the sincerity of his cooperation, Lucien thought to himself.

And his promise is that a year later, he will take the initiative to leave the Radiant Cathedral, and the Council will send someone to take over the super-large teleportation array and the divine defense core inside, which is a step further than closing the teleportation array himself, and at the same time, he will make the cardinals in the other four dioceses who have been wooed by him do the same, and those who have not been co-opted will cooperate with us to sneak attack and master. Fernando looked at Lucien and said, "What do you know about Salde, are there any problems?"

Lucien shook his head: "I only know that he has been hiding my relationship with Natasha from the Pope, which seems to be very compatible with his current purpose, and I can't see any loopholes, but what he has gained in the necromantic world, none of us know about it, and we must be prepared for other changes." ”

Fernando didn't say anything more, and instructed Lucien: "Tell Natasha about this matter, and tell her not to say anything about it in front of Salde, and to acquiesce and cooperate with herself, but not to leave evidence of words and sounds, and to leave another hope for the future." ”

"Teacher, what do you mean?" Lucien was a little surprised.

Fernando nodded solemnly: "Before calculating victory, you must also be prepared for total defeat." ”

The Southern Church is powerful, there are twenty-four legends and one god-like in themselves, and even if the kingdom of Holm on the other side of the Storm Strait is not included, there are thirteen epic knights in the countries attached to them, which is deservedly the most powerful force, although the Magic Council is flourishing, there is still a big gap with them, and there is no doubt that it is full of danger to confront them.

"You're a little nervous, teacher. Lucien sighed, "Is the paper on special relativity put on hold for a year? ”

Fernando shook his head: "I didn't expect Salde to ask for cooperation so soon, and he has already thrown out Oliver's transformation equations, even if there is no guidance from us, with the current discussion boom and the current arcane foundation, at most half a year, there are arcanists who can deduce it on their own, so there is no need, but you need to be more cautious."
